đď¸ Stuck in a Hellevator by Stria (Asia117) @nooradeservedbetter (1k, T)
Okay, so Louis might not be the easiest person to be around either. But itâs not his fault Harry from finance was hired around Aprilâs fools, and he had to prank him by attaching that sign that said dumbo on him, it was all in good humour and he didnât mean anything by it. But Harry from finance took it personally, and nothing Louis could say would sway him.
đď¸ The Stationery Cupboard by little_obelia @littleobelia (2k, E)
IT technician Louis pays a visit to the Croydon branch to install some risk management software and to possibly finally do something about his crush on hopelessly awkward loan manager Harry.
đď¸ when you don't want coffee by larryftnoctrl @the-larry-way (2k, T)
Two men who are too dumb to use their words but totally have crushes on each other. Featuring Niall as Captain of the ship ready to save it from sinking at any cost.
đď¸ The IT Romance Story by tommokat @tommokat (4k, T)
Harryâs new job comes with two main struggles: the technology hating him and the IT tech thatâs fixing it all.
đď¸ i swear i could give you everything by alwaysxlarrie @alwaysxlarrie (6k, T)
Louis Tomlinson was not a morning person, so he really should have known better than to start leaving secret notes on coworker Harry Styles' desk before he arrived at the office at 7:30 each morning. But he did have to admit that hearing Harry's reaction everyday was definitely worth it. Not being a morning person might be his downfall in this situation, though. Talk about self sabotage.Â
đď¸ On That Note by allwaswell16 @allwaswell16 (6k, E)
Louisâ office job on an omega only floor would be absolutely fine, if not for the alphas he and his friends have to deal with in the building. But although theyâve never met face to face, the friendly notes sent between him and Harry in Purchasing help him get through the day.
đď¸ 427 Short Days by sunflouwerhabit @sunflouwerhabit (12k, NR)Â
The plan was coming together. It was foolproof. Harry would be the best bunny sitter in existence. He would watch Bagel and Bucky. He would make Bagel and Bucky love him. Then, after stealing the hearts of the two creatures Louis loves most on this planet, he would inevitably win Louis over, too. Bagel and Bucky could be the flower ⌠bunnies at their wedding in three months time.
Easy peasy. Lemon squeezy.
Hook line and sinker.
Louis ⌠hopped right into the trap.
~~~
Or the one where Harry Styles has been in love with an oblivious Louis Tomlinson for 424 days. In a last ditch effort to win over the man of his dreams, he offers to watch Louis' beloved pet bunnies over a long weekend. Chaos ensues.
Featuring the Cleveland Spiders, a plethora of Wicked references, a crash course in Bunny Care 101, and a blossoming love story between idiot coworkers.
Oh, and the two cutest bunnies of all time.
đď¸ I Loved You (I Swear I Loved You) by umbroshirt (17k, NR)
Harry has only recently been promoted to a higher department at work when he gets invited to the annual corporate retreat. The problem is, heâs allowed a plus one, and everyone else is bringing a significant other. Something Harry is currently lacking. When he calls on an old friend from his previous department to help him fake it for a week, Louis ends up realizing that maybe his feelings for Harry arenât as platonic as he thought.
đď¸ tennis court by outropeace @outropeace (18k, E)
Nearly every single Monday, a new wave of gossip about Styles appeared in Louisâ office, like a dysfunctional and very thirsty clockwork. Because nearly every single Monday, a new omega freshly out of their heat had to tell how fantastic their weekend with the alpha was.
And all thanks to Louis' office mating cycle system, which consisted of a database of employees who needed partners for their heat/ruts. It was a practical and very useful system; employees checked the people in it and had to pick three of them from the list of candidates to spend their cycles withâjust in case one of the three was unavailable for those days, they still had at least two options secured. His first year working there, Louis made the huge mistake of putting Styles as one of his options. Styles, of course, never made himself available for him, not even once.
Or Louis and Harry are co-workers and Louis is sure Harry hates him because he always refuses to help him with his heats.
đď¸ You Left all your Dreams on the Threshing Floor by LadyLondonderry @londonfoginacup (27k, M)Â
Marcel will go home after work and heâll clean his vest and heâll bleach his shirt and tomorrow will be a new day. Heâs got other things that he can spend his time focusing on. How to fit in a third quote onto the cover of the fall issue of Mod Mag without covering any details in the modelâs face, for instance.
Maybe heâll switch to gluten-free banana bread for the meeting on Friday. He knows some co-workers likes to eat gluten free, at least.
Someone will have to accept his friendship advances eventually.
Theyâll have to.
Right?

Louis Tomlinson gets a job at Mod Magazine. Heâs quickly drawn to the one person in the office who wonât give him (or anyone) the time of day; Marcel Styles, Senior Layout Editor.
đď¸ The Love You Want by directaddress (46K, E)
"Are you mad at me?"
"Will you shut up? I'm trying to work," Louis grumbles, clicking his pen open obnoxiously with the intention of proving his point, and scribbling random words to pretend like he's busy. He can see Harry's little smile in the corner of his eyes.
"You're so cute when you're annoyed," Harry whispers again, like it's a secret. And there goes the inappropriate comments at the worst times. This is exactly the reason he deserves the promotion and Harry doesn't, the younger guy doesn't even take this job seriously.
Or, the one where Louis and Harry share desks right across from each other at work and are both fighting for the same position. They canât stand each other, but things get heated in the wrong direction and Louis has to face the changing dynamic.
đď¸ Caffeine Withdrawals by corrinebailey (67k, E)
Harry groaned, loudly, at the stupid pink post-it note with the word MORNING written in big fat letters across it. He should be less annoyed, and definitely not caught off guard by the very thing thatâs been aggravating him for a month.
Besides the whole sleeping thing obviously, but that felt like nothing compared to the annoyance these notes have brought upon him.
But here he was, with caffeine withdrawals, and these fucking notes were going to make him dive off the cliff he called his brain.
Or the one where Harry can't fall asleep, he wants to hate his coworker, and Louis might be the one to solve everything
đď¸ when close to satisfaction by etherealbliss @givesuethemoon (88k, E)Â
After a string of unlucky events, Louis finds himself forced to bring his sharp financial acumen to Harmonia, a beauty and apparel brand known for its whimsical aesthetics but hurt by its inability to make a profit in all its years of operation. Unfortunately, his assistance seems to be far from appreciated by the co-founder and CEO, Harry, who is stubborn, spoiled, and much to Louis' dismay: drop-dead gorgeous.
With no other option, he and Harry form an unlikely team in the mission to make Harmonia successful. But as the lines begin to blur through late nights and stolen glances, Louis realizes that the traits he had once despised might just make Harry impossible to resist.
đď¸ you are my destiny (you are the reason that i still believe) by alwaysxlarrie @alwaysxlarrie (98k, M)
Being a new employee at a company means that you have to learn to brush off the shitty bosses, shitty coworkers, and not getting the credit you actually deserve for things. At least, that's been Harry Styles' experience. Coworkers who steal his ideas in pursuit of getting praise and a raise, and a boss who's indifferent at best and condescending at worst. Harry has learned to expect this reality for the foreseeable future. He's accepted it.
What he hadn't expected was for Louis Tomlinson to waltz into their company, and his life, and change around everything he thought he knew about fate.
